Given that fan shards depend on the MOULa data set and cannot redistribute files.
Given that new clothing updates are published on MOULa without warning from Cyan.
Given that bugs in the client cause all clothing files to be loaded at runtime, regardless of listing in the .age file.

WHEN a fan has published clothing on MOULa it is understood said fan gives explicit permission to all shards to host said clothing item.

Am I understanding correctly that by “host” you mean “allow players to use”, not necessarily “keep and distribute the files”? Because, while the latter would be my normal understanding of the word “host”, I don’t see any requirement for that, seeing as we can’t do that with other Cyan files either.
